Pathetic nonsense

The Conservatives who are trying to spin that this is no big deal because well, majority governments don't often win byelections and well, the Liberals didn't win it by as much as one poll said they would a few weeks ago so really Trudeau messed things up and this is a sign he is in over his head, is just nonsense and kind of smacks of sore losership.

Well obviously its a win for the Libs, given they won, duh, thier is a point to the Tories made.

And that is Trudeaumania played no part, this was a rejection of the Penashue, not love for Justin.

The Trudeau bounce disappeared and the Liberals ended up with 48 percent in a riding where under Dion they got 70%. In fact it was only Penashue's popularity that won him the traditionally Liberal riding in the first place, which he barely took. With the scandal his popularity died.

So why did the Liberals not do as well as polls expected? The NDP retained its vote instead of it draining off to Justin. Which shows that Trudeaumania had no effect, just punishment for the Tories along with personal popularity of Jones.

Spin spin spin, Anon. And because the Toronto Maple Leafs forced their series to a Game 7, when everyone expected Boston to win earlier, means that Boston really lost this series and the Leafs are moving on...oh, wait...
